The Fuzzy Logic Story

Fuzzy Logic had its murky beginnings back in 1988 when Michael Cohen and Liz Sumner formed the quartet Lip Service to perform their original tunes. They appeared at festivals and coffee houses across the Pacific Northwest winning a devoted fan following, and garnering critical praise in magazines like Dirty Linen and Victory Review. Their music could be heard on radio programs in the greater Seattle area, and they appeared on Sandy Bradley's Potluck, broadcast nationwide on NPR. Michael and Liz have placed highly in songwriting competitions and both were Kerrville finalists in 1993. Lip Service recorded two albums of original music, "Love & Romance Game" and "Like Magic" produced by guitar master, Rick Ruskin, at Lion Dog Studio in Seattle.

In 1994 Michael and Liz moved to New England and began performing as Fuzzy Logic. In 2000 they released their first CD "Doing The Best I Can", which has received airplay on quite a few radio stations around the country. In the fall of 2000, fate conspired that they meet three talented local performers who were totally simpatico with what they were striving for musically. And so the new, improved Fuzzy Logic quintet was born.

The new band expands beyond Liz's powerful vocals and Michael's usual tasteful guitar and mandolin backing, to include a wide range of instrumentation and harmonies . With Gina Chase sharing vocal duties, the two singers can spin intricate harmonies and play off each others wildly theatrical ( and sometimes outrageous) antics. Dewees Johnson is a demon on the bass guitar. His magic fingers seem to fly across the strings and create one-half of an exciting rhythm section . Steve Bourque is a master chameleon on drums and percussion, moving with seamless ease through a gamut of genres, always providing the perfect groove for every song.
